1. A control device for a driver assistance system, the control device comprising:
a housing;
a sensor interface via which the control device can be connected to at least one sensor module for receiving data from the at least one sensor module;
a power processor which is adapted to detect objects and to provide object data based on the data from the at least one sensor module;
a processor power supply unit which provides operating energy for the power processor;
a system interface via which the control device can be connected to a higher-level control device of the driver assistance system for forwarding the object data provided by the power processor; and
a sensor voltage supply unit, separate from the processor power supply unit, which provides operating energy for the at least one sensor module,
wherein the sensor interface, the power processor, the processor power supply unit, the system interface, and the sensor voltage supply unit are integrated into the control device and arranged within the housing.
